Painting Guidance

Buy the pack - then follow this guidance.

Imagine standing on the ethereal Scarista Beach in Scotland at the break of dawn. The vibrant hues of the sunrise beautifully transition from deep purples to bright oranges and soft blues, casting enchanting reflections across the wet sands. The distant hills bathed in morning light frame the horizon, providing a dramatic contrast to the serene waves gently lapping at the shore. This painting captures the serene yet dynamic interplay of light, color, and nature, delivering a sense of tranquility and awe.

Step-by-Step Painting Guide

Materials Needed

  • Canvas or watercolor paper
  • Acrylic or oil paints
  • Brushes (various sizes)
  • Palette
  • Water cup (for acrylics) or solvent (for oils)

Preparation and Composition

  1. Setting Up: Start by laying out your materials. Ensure your workspace is well-lit to accurately perceive color nuances.
  2. Using the Line Drawing: Transfer the line drawing from your PDF pack onto your canvas. This will serve as your guide for composition and placement of key elements.
  3. Grid Reference: If using the artist’s grid, lightly sketch it onto the canvas. This can help ensure the accuracy of proportions and alignment.

Painting Guide

Sky and Background

  1. Sky: Begin with the sky. Mix soft blues with hints of orange to replicate the morning light. Remember to blend the edges smoothly.
  2. Sun: Use bright yellow and white to paint the sun. It should be the focal point of light in the sky, casting reflections downwards.
  3. Hills: Using cool purples, paint the distant hills. These should appear soft and slightly faded to suggest depth.

Sea and Reflections

  1. Sea: Start from the horizon and work downwards, using gradients of turquoise and teal. Emphasize the gentle wave motions with white highlights.
  2. Reflections: Carefully paint the sun’s reflection on the sea using a bright white, narrowing as it nears the shoreline.

Sand and Foreground

  1. Wet Sand: Mix oranges and purples to create the reflective wet sand. Use swift, broad strokes to mimic the smooth, glassy surface.
  2. Rocks and Details: Add detail to the rocks and small pebbles using darker shades of red and purple with hints of blue. This will create dimension and shadow.

Final Touches

  1. Blending: Revisit any areas that need smoother transitions, particularly between the sand and sea.
  2. Highlights: Add final highlights with white or light yellow to emphasize reflections and light on the peaks of waves and rocks.
  3. Review: Step back and assess your painting, making any adjustments needed to balance color and composition.

With patience and detail, your piece will beautifully echo the serene beauty of Scarista Beach.
